What is going on when someone (I assume just one person) suddenly goes through a bunch of my answers and upvotes all of them? For what purpose?

    \$\begingroup\$ Maybe they like your answers! What annoys me is somewhat different. I post a trivial answer to a trivial question and suddenly get loads of upvotes. I answer a difficult question and silence \$\endgroup\$

As a new user I sometimes did the same, when I saw a great answer by a user I was not yet familiar with. Chances are that the same user has written a lot of other great answers on similar topics, and reading them can be educational.

After a while it gets boring, and you tend to recognize most high-rep users. You also learn about serial down- and up-voting, and the bots/mods/machines searching for it.
